Stars Player Arrested For Public Intoxication

PLANO (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― Dallas Stars center Mike Ribeiro was arrested in Plano on Sunday night for public intoxication. The 30-year-old hockey player and three others were taken into custody around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, according Rick McDonald with the Plano Police Department.

McDonald explained that Ribeiro was dining at Rasushi, located in the 7500 block of Lone Star Drive, with 39-year-old Darcy Lewis and 39-year-old Tammy Williams, who is Ribeiro's wife. The two women got into an altercation with other patrons at the restaurant and an off-duty officer who was working there intervened.

Ribeiro's party, which also included 36-year-old Wane Lewis, was escorted outside. All four were taken into custody for public intoxication. Wane Lewis was also charged with assault after, police said, he lunged at an officer during the arrest.

All four of those involved bonded out of jail at 4:45 a.m. Monday morning.

Ribeiro was selected 45th overall in the second round of the 1998 draft by the Montreal Canadiens. He then joined the Stars in 2006 and was later offered a five-year, $25 million contract after the 2007-2008 season, where he represented the Stars in the NHL All-Star Game.

Nobody from the Dallas Stars organization would comment on the arrest.
